Alva Middle School 💥
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Williams joined forces to end the week on a high note! Using We Will Write, an interactive writing showdown, students form anonymous teams and tackle creative prompts, earning points by voting for their favorite submissions. The competition brings out the giggles and fun side in everyone! Students love the thrill of competing, collaborating, and showcasing their creativity. Writing skills are sharpened and students learn to appreciate the writing contributions of others.
